Energy efficiency and green communications have become well-established themes for next-
generation communications systems, with specific regard to reducing carbon footprint …

The discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism is commonly employed in current LTE
networks to improve energy efficiency of user equipment (UE). DRX allows UEs to monitor …

The main energy consumption in computer networks is the access networks. The passive
optical network (PON) has the least energy consumption among access network …

Current networking equipment usually provides several energy profiles with different
performance capabilities. For example, in EPON systems, ONUs are able to switch their …

Network coding (NC) implemented in passive optical networks (PONs) holds great promise
due to the localization trends of emerging applications and services, which occur between …

Switching the operating state on machines is probably the simpler way to reduce the energy
consumption of otherwise non energy-aware devices. Indeed, many energy-aware systems …

As one of the most promising technologies for next generation broadband access network,
the fiber-wireless broadband access network (FiWi) integrates the technical merits of the …

In this paper, we investigate power management problems that affect gigabit-capable
passive optical networks (GPONs). In GPONs, the basic principle for power reduction is to …

Rising energy consumption of IT infrastructure concerns have spurred the development of
more power efficient networking equipment and algorithms. When old equipment just drew …

XG‐PON is the latest ITU‐T PON standard for passive optical networks (PONs), which
provide broadband access to the end user at line rates of up to 10 Gb/s. The most important …
